At the end of your quotation, you include only the Act, scene and line. You will include the rest of the information, such as the title of the play and that it was written by Shakespeare in your works cited. If you are only writing about one play, for example Othello, and you are quoting Othello, your in text citation would look like this:
The spirit-stirring drum, the' ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner and all quality,
Pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war! (3.3.349-355)
If the quote is more than three lines long in the actual play, then it must be set off as a block quote. If you are only quoting one line or a few words, then you can include it in your sentence as normal, but the citation remains the same.
example: After demanding proof from Iago, Othello begins to think about the situation at hand. He tells Iago, "I think my wife be honest, and think she is not; I think that thou art just, and think thou art not" (3.3.385-386).
When using a quote that is longer than three lines in the play, aside from block quotes, you must type it exactly as it appears on the page of the play. The line breaks must be the same, etc.
Hope this helps!
